IHRSA 2016
There is one week that our Fitness Family looks forward to..... IHRSA!!! It's a fun trade show where anything related to fitness can be shown off. Classes, equipment, billing, clothing, insurance, you name it and if it relates to fitness and health it is going to be there. Natalie and Shannon try the new classes and equipment, my mom and I walk around and basically watch and take pictures of them doing all of that, Mike helps to find the latest new toys we can add to the gym and Bill attends the not so fun meetings. Night time is always fun because there is normally a great dinner to attend and well who doesn't love to get dressed up and go to dinner!
This year the show was held in Orlando, which had its perks but I think I still love it being held in Vegas! The perk of Orlando though is when the show is over, there are a few great things to do there... like act like a kid again and hit up park! So Wednesday we picked Universal Studios theme park and for a day we were kids, walked 9 miles, two parks and rode every ride I could get them on.
You might want to know how all this worked out with the small balloon in stomach. Well, I did ask the doctor before riding any of the rides just to make sure it was okay and he said as long as I was feeling okay I was clear to go and lately I have been feeling great. As long as I eat small meals and stay on top of that I am good. It's when I forget to eat and run low on energy and then can't catch back up that I am not so good. The park was interesting because that required a lot of energy and I am still a little low on that. It also require a lot of water and well I have to choose between eating and drinking at the same time so its still a learning process.
I have to give a shout out to my wonderful husband who stayed with the kids while I was gone and kept the house in perfect order. He even had 40 some odd eggs boiled for me when I got home Thursday night and Anniversary flowers and a gift wrapped and waiting. The man is beyond thoughtful. He also had to go to the store for a few last minute items to help pull together McKinley's spring class party. Room mom is easy with a great Room dad! I could not do it without him!
